Final blog post

In this class i learned a variety of things. Different kinds of design work as well as how to design them to meet each of their different needs. i learned about blogging, some photoshop, illustartor and Indesign.

I am proud that i have learned how to use illustrator more effectively and about different design strategies.

I improved upon my ability to use illustrator and other design tools to use with my design ideas.

I have many projects I would like to persue on my own: the Service Poster, Making a book ....
mostly I would like to see how i could improve what I have already done and to push my designs a bit further and practice and the various assignments to prepare for future assignments similar or related to what I have already done.

Peacock Development: Added Idea

Book cover- have a box book with drawers that open. Instead of opening the cover of book, pull out drawers. Each drawer is a page of the book, each page has same layout and elements as original idea. to pull out drawers either wire handles or regular knobs will be used. Paper is glued to thin board that serves as draw and support. measure to ensure no snares and a smooth pull out. 10 pages= 10 drawers.
on materials page- have samples of materials on page

if unable to do simple binding will be used

How to Book

Title: How To Make A Peacock Gone Wire!

idea: this is a how to book on how to make a peacock, using my own personal experience and style quality, with wire and fabric.


create a peacock out of construction paper to act as a guide throughout the book, appearing on every page. More detail such as the wings and tail will be made. Tail will occassionaly fan out on different pages and the peacock will sit in different positions on pages. Blue, Green, White and Black construction paper will be used to create the body, wings, head and tail.

use Japanese or ink paintings as inspiration for background image. I will attempt to use indian ink to create a unique background for each page to create a visually pleasing environment for the peacock so he does not have to sit on a blank background page. This will hopefully give life to the pages as well as combining different elements to the book. background will be in grey scale not colored ink.

 

Added on each page will also be branches that will act as a perch for the peacock. these branches will be made out of thin string like wire of both gold or copper tinted and silver colorings.

Fabric leaves may be added onto the wire branches.
cover will be made with combination of wire, fabric, paper with the peacocks head on the front cover and the tail faned out on the back cover.

Recap: Ink background environment, with wire branches, fabric leaves in the middle ground and construction paper peacock in foreground acting as a guide throughout the how to book. Cover will have head of peacock, and back cover the fanned out tail.

Poster Project

Idea: save the polar bears

phrase: Will You Turn Away As They Fade Away

drawing of woman's face turned away with eyes gazing back at a polar bear looking for help. Her hair are waves signifying the drowning of the polar bears.

Infographics TOBY KEITH simplified

idea 3: One CD. use each songs overall mood as represented by color in wavy motion to reflect common rhythm or mood for the CD.

CD to use; THAT DONT MAKE ME A BAD GUY
songs to use:
that dont make me a bad guy
creole woman
God Love Her
lost you anyway                  
missing me some you
hurt a lot worse when you go
time that it would take
you already love me
she never cried in front of me
cabo  san lucas
I got it for you girl

same basic design principles from the other previous mentioned ideas
purpose: to show common connecting trend that makes up the CD along with my personal response to it: in other words: what i feel with what i hear
